Bench Press and Deadlifts

Busy week and I wasn't able to post my training right away. This week training is back on course and I feel even more ready for Nationals. I am "dialing it in".BENCH PRESSWarm Up
Shoulder Mobility and Stretching.
Bench Press - 135lbs/12 reps, 225lbs/10 reps, 315lbs/4 reps.

Since I was training at the base gym I finished my Deadlifts work out with 5 minutes on the Stationary Bike, walking on the indoor track, and sit ups. NO CHALK at the base gym meant I had to search for their newly purchased "Westside" bar with deep knurling. It still didn't keep the bar from slipping. I couldn't quite lock out the third Power Phase single. With chalk I would have had no problem. Now it's time to rest and get ready for Squats on Monday.
